El Pescador Fish Market - La Jolla

Scored parking behind this market/restaurant, heading down Pearl, just west of Draper. Proper. We came in search of fish tacos and we would not leave until we tasted them in our pie holes. I demanded local fish so we were recommended sea bass and yellowtail. The sea bass was phenomenal but the yellow tail lacked flavor and is the reason why they got four stars. Otherwise everything was a five-star experience from start to finish. I'm thinking just a little bit of salt or pepper could have saved the day.

Despite living nearby for years, had not until recently made the run to El Pescador. Our lost opportunity to fix now this place has incredible selection and variety of seafood. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Perfectly cooked swordfish in homemade dressing on a soft roll. Crab cocktail excellent (and I'm typically not a huge fan); perfect heat level in the sauce. The grilled octopus cookery made us permanent devotees. Great service staff, lots of seating and ample beverage selection. Planning our next visit already!

Great and tasty restaurant with fresh fish. We were delighted to have lunch here. It seems very busy with lots of people buying fresh fish. We ordered a yellow tail salad, halibut plates for kids and swordfish sandwich. Everything was delicious. Service was bit slow but the staff is friendly and everything is clean. I truly recommend this place.
